I am not too familiar with the tech situation.

Why are you stuck with Windows Media Player....it blows.

after looking up more i found that when the apple TV came out they change the security on the M4V files and you can no longer play them in media player but i'm still working on it.

Is it a itunes protected format?

Also m4v is a container, are your files h.264?

I used to install http://www.cccp-project.net/ cccp to handle all codecs on the windows side that and VLC takes care of it. Plus windows 7 bakes in some good codec support.

Yeah Grah is right that one works for everything I've been using it for a long time. Works well with the Xbox as well.
